Obverse description	Green intaglio print on grey paper. A finely engraved vignette of a condor with spread wings occupies the left field, perched on rocky ground. The centre bears a guilloche-framed panel with the denomination in large ornate lettering, flanked to the right by the numeral 500 within an elaborate lace-work cartouche. A cursive gold-convertibility clause runs across the lower portion above the date and two manuscript signatures, with BILLETE PROVISIONAL noted at lower right.
